Summary: Predicted to enable neuropeptide hormone activity and type 1 melanocortin receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including adult feeding behavior; neuropeptide signaling pathway; and positive regulation of feeding behavior. Located in extracellular space and neuronal cell body.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
